If compilation succeed, then one can capture raw camera input data into file. Below is one example to save video.raw file during first 5 seconds../streamer -video /dev/video0 -t 0:5 -f 422 -s 640x480 -r 24 -o video.raw
2. One way to stream live webcam video using vlc
(Referred: http://superuser.com/questions/567016/live-streaming-using-ffmpeg)
Environment
OS: Ubuntu 13.1
Webcam : Microsoft Corp. LifeCam VX-1000
Web-server running on 192.168.1.20
Ok. now lets do the jobs to stream live webcam via vlc and webbrowser
First make sure vlc is installed.
sudo apt-get install vlc
1 | sudo apt-get install vlc |
If you installed vlc, then you can execute cvlc. So run below command
1 | cvlc v4l2:// :v4l2-vdev="/dev/video0" --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=512,scale=1,acodec=none,venc=x264{aud,profile=high,level=60,keyint=15,bframes=0,ref=1,nocabac}}:duplicate{dst=std{access=livehttp{seglen=10,delsegs=true,numsegs=5,index=/var/www/live/mystream.m3u8,index-url=http://192.168.1.20/live/mystream-########.ts},mux=ts{use-key-frames},dst=/var/www/live/mystream-########.ts},dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8082/video.mp4}}' &
|
Note: The above command may fail if you don't have "/var/www/live/" folder created and have right permission to access it.
After successful running the above command without any error, then use can access this live stream from web page addressed http://<serve_ip_address>/live.
